Application filed October 19, 1885. Serial No. 180,380. (No model.) A

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK B. MUNRoE, of Lynn, in the county of Essex, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hose-Spanners; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a side view, Fig. 2 an edge elevation, Fig. 3 alongitudinalsection, and Fig. 4 a perspective view, of a spanner of my invention, the nature of which is defined in the the ring. In the place of the hook and ring a buckle may be used suitably connected with the arched head at one end thereof, and to engage with a strap properly applied or fastened to the other end of such head.

The spanner thus made can be employed not only to aid in revolving the revoluble part of a hose-coupling, but forlifting and moving a hose, or for supporting it by hitching the hook on the round of aladder. The straps, with their connecting devices, serve to aid securing the spanner to a hose or its coupling.

I claim- 7 The'hose spanner,substantiall y as described, consisting of the hooked and cross-shaped handle, the curved head with its holes, the straps secured to such head, and the hook and ring applied to such straps, all being arranged essentially and for use as set forth.

FRANK B. MUNROE.
